ARemarlsnble Witness.

Franklin, Pa. letter. Some weeks ago
q young woman named Scott, who was
soon to become mother, appeared be-
fore Mercer County Justice of the
Peace and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of young man named William
Bloodgood, on charge of assault and
battery. Bloodgood was arrested.
The young woman swore at
the hearing that two weeks
previous Bloodgood had come to her
house, and, as she objected to his re-
manning, he had choked her nearly to
insensibility, and twisted her left wrist,
almost dislocating it. She said the
marks of his fingers and thumb were
visable on her throat for several days,
and her wrist had remained crooked
for some time. She had no witnesses
to substantiate her statements or prove
the assault. Bloodgood admitted hay
ing been present at the girls house at
the time of the alleged assault, but de-
MED that any had been made. He was
held, however, to await his trial at
court.
Few believed that the girl had been
assaulted, and Bloodgood's discharge
was expected by his friends as soon as
court met. The case was called at the
last term of the Mercer Court. The
complainant appeared, carrying her s.
weeks old baby. Her lawyer put her
on the stand, and she swore that Blood
good had assaulted her, and stated, and
that she was the mother of the baby in
her arms. A physician corroborated
the fact of that relationship. The law
yer then told the court that, as the
defense would ask for acquittal on the
ground that there was no evidence of
any assault having been committed, he
offered as evidence corroborative of the
plaintiff S testimony the baby she had in
her arms. The prosecuting lawyer took
the infant to the jury, and, uncovering
its throat. revealed to them the distinct
marks of four fingers on one side of it,
and the plain unmistakeable impression
OF a thumb On the other. After these
remarkable birth marks has been exam
ined by the jury the lawyer uncovered
the baby's left wrist. 1t was twisted
out of shape and swollen, as if it had
been suddenly wrenched. These marks
corresponded exactly with the injuries
the child's mother swore she had rcceiv-
cd at the hands of the prisoner, Blood
good, more than month before it was
born. The prisoner was convicted.

The reason poultry killed at home,
though young. is as tender as that
bought at the market, is that the former
is generally not killed until wanted, and
when eaten is still rigid with death,
while that bought at the poulteror's 5
has been killed at least hours-more
often days. Poultry ought to bo killed
several days before being eaten, dressed
at once, and. with few bits of char

thus advancing closer to moisture, as
well as permitting of the growth of n
large proportion of those rootlets that

only more liable to being winter killed

The supposition that young sows are
better for breeding purposes than those
two or three years old has done much
to impair the vigor of swine. The GUS
tom Of using young sows grew out of
the loss of fyoung pigs by pressure from
the heavy dams, but large breeding
sow should not be fat and heavy. A
sow over two years old will give more
milk than a younger one, and, as n
rule, she viii produce stronger pigs.

CLOVER AND FERTILITY.

A correspondent writes that he can
readily understand how clover can
bring up nitrogen from the subsoil and
leave it in the large roots near the
surface, but he adds: "What does Sir
j. B. Lawes mean when he says that,
clover left the soil richer in nitrogen
even after the roots were picked out,
than it was before? If nitrogen is not
furnished by the air, nor pumped up
and left in the roots, Sir John must
wish us to believe that clover creates
nitrogen somehow and kindly leaves it
where we can use it," Not necessarily.
When strong, deep roots take water
from the subsoil in which nitrates are
dissolved, more water containing soluble
plant food flows by capillary motion to
take its place. This upward motion Of
water from beneath is constant, but it
is stronger when plants are drawing
on it from above and keep up this circu-
lation. The clover consumes what it
wants, but the water brings more than
ale crop can use and this surplus re-
mains in the soil for the next crop.
Hence it is not impossible that deep
roofing plants help to enrich the sur
face soil simply by their effect of in
creasing the upward flow of water and
with it soluble plant food from be-

Somehow the impression seems to pre-
vail with most producers that tho one
great and only legitimate end of milk
and its cream Is to make butter, and a
sense of waste and misuse involuntarily
rises whenever either is used for any
other purpose; while, in fact, butter
making is the least useful purpose for
which milk is employed. A moments s
reflection ought to make it clear that
cream is more economical and valuable
than butter, since it is equal to both
butter and bnttermilk. There is more
fat iu cream than in the butter that is
made from it. Cream never churns
perfectly. A parts of Its fat is always
left back in tho buttermilk and is lost

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
WATER LuL1E,.

'Twus rare day when Nature
Was in her kindliest mood,
a witching spell OF beauty
Lay soft on field and wood:
We sanntered forth to gather,
A maiden fair and I.
The cleaning water-lilics
Beneath summers sky.
Calm lay the lakelet sleeping,
Tho wood crowned Lill amougS
Upon its placid bosom
The lny-pads were lung
Like tiny, doating isle,s
Upon some, fairy stream,
While from their emerald setting
FLASHING ont tho lilies CLEAN,
Dark cleaned the unrufIied water
Beneath tho ehadowy trees,
Or broke in rippling laughter
Kissed by the wooing breeze,
In Its cool depths translucent,
Another world below,
Each cloud and shrub and blossom
With shining tints aglow.
With deft and shapely fingers
She plucked the milk-white dover1
As on we Idly noated,
AL needless OF the hours;
Herself a stately lily
On life's majestic tide,
Whose rare and queenly graees
Tho lily-blooms outyied,
Within the glen We rested,
WLure Natures artist hand
Had wrought In scenes fantastic
Her wonders weird and grand.
Cathedral-liko and so1emn
The scene before us spread,
In yaulted arch and column,
The troes rose overhead.
We climbed the rocky stairway,
And plucked the maiden-hair;
Then fell to quiet musing,
flushed by the silence there.
Hither me thinks the FAIRIES
Oft como In glorious June,
To hold their airy revels
Beneath the silver moon.
Afar tho plashing water
Made music faint and rare.'
That stole upon the senses,
Like some forgotten air.

Poured forth her amorous lay,
While at our feet the cricket
Joined in the roundelay.

The years may come and go,
And Time, the great scone-shifteS

now GOOD BUTTER Is MADE.

.
Judge M. R. Gray, of Ryegate. NH,
who took second prize offered by the
Manchester Mirror for best butter shown
Mt the Vermont dairy meeting at St.
Johnsbury, gave his methods of feeding
and butter making as follows: His cows
are chiefly thoroughbred Jerseys, though
he has few high grades. The winter
feed is coarse fodder, such rs corn stalks,
wheat. rye. oat, or barley hay fed night
and morning, with ordinary English
hay at noon. The coarse fodder is cut
and steamed about two hours in the
morning. The grain is equal weights
of corn and cob meal and bran, four
quarts at meal morning and night
Waters after feeding in the morning
and before feeding at night. From
eighteen to twenty-five cows are kept.
The Milk is set in large open pans, usrl-
ally thirty-six hours, and at tempera-
ture of 60 to 20 degrees. Churning is
done from two to four times per week.
in dash churn run by horse power.
This winter tho cream was churned at 67
degrees, and the butter comes in good
condition to handle. Just before the
butter is ready to separate the horse is
stopped and the churning is finished by
hand. When finished the butter is rims
ed Oft in clear water, and a half ounce of
salt per pound sprinkled over and work
ed in. While the butter is being COM
pacted by lever hand worker a cloth
is used for absorbing the surplus moist
ure. Tho churning occupies from tif-
teen minutes to half hour. If the
cream is too thick for proper churning
1t is thinned with water. He made g.

CREAM FOOD AS MEDICINE.

4. Persons csmsumptively inclined, says
DR.. Arnold, in the Now York Tribune,
those with feeble digestion, aged people,
and those inclined to chilliness and
cold extremities, are especially benefit
ed by liberal use of sweet cream. No
other article of food or medicine will
give them results equally satisfactory,
and either Us food medicine it is not
bad to take. Asan antidote for q tenden.
cyto consumption it acts like charm,
and serves all the purpose intended to
be served by cod-liver oil with much
certainty and effect. Where sweet cream
can be had cod-liver oil is never needed.

tributing directly by promoting diges-
ton for the same reason and in the
same way that other aromatic and at
tenuated oils aid the digestive function.
While cream has special merits for
certain kinds of invalids, there are no
objection to its use by any or all per-
sons. It is an innocent, palatable, nu-
tritious luxury for everybody at all
times. 1t is one of the special blessings
that serve to beautify the lives of dairy
men which might very properly be used
by them and by all others who produce
milk much more frequently than it is
now, and would, no doubt, meet with a
more liberal use but for the impression
many have that ii an expensive luxury
they can not afford; yetit often happens
that many, who for this reason, restrict
themselves in the use of cream use but

TO MAKE DEEP Mixers.

The time when COWS are made and
spoiled is when heifers are approaching
calying with their first calves, and for
six months thereafter. A heifer should
be well fed on nutritious. growing food,
roots, bran and some strong meal, corn.
oats, cotton seed, etc., besides hay and
stalks. She should have daily exercise,
and when she comes to the stall should
be handled, the udder kneaded, rubbed,
and the milk veins traced their whole
length. She will learn to like this, and
it produces pleasant excitement about
the parts, n tendancy of blood to tho
milk glands. their growth, and an in
creased tendency to give milk. After
calvhg, when she settles down to milk
ing, she should have strong milk-mak-
ing food, in which wheat bran should
bea constant and abundant constituent.
The aim should be rather to cause a
larger flow than much fat secretion.
The heifer is herself growing rapidly.
Many of the constituents of the milk
are needed for her own increasing
frame, but tho flow of milk must be
kept up. and she should be MIXED al
most up to her next calving.-Colonel
Weld in American Dairyman.
